Trump endorsed the work of Musk while he spoke with reporters in the Oval Office and praised him for his 'good natural instinct' and a group 'very talented people' to perform the task of shrinking the government.
“Elon can and will do nothing without our approval and we will give him the approval where necessary,” Trump said. “It's something he feels very strong about.”
Trump added that he would prevent Musk from working in areas where conflicts of interest can be with his companies.
“He only has access to let people go that he thinks is not good if we agree with him and it is only if we agree with him,” Trump said. “He is a very talented man from the point of view of management and costs.”
